What to expect

This small group glacier hike takes place on Falljökull, one of the outlets of the mighty Vatnajökull - Europe's largest glacier. Lead by a certified glacier guide, explore all that this living glacier has to offer. Enjoy the panoramic view of an ever-changing landscape while learning about Iceland's frozen giants. Our 4x4 bus takes you from Skaftafell right to the edge of the glacier, so we maximize time on the ice. This hike is perfect families, first-time explorers, or returning adventurers looking for an accessible and safe glacier adventure.
